Visit the University’s Human Resources Web site for information regarding their policies on keeping hiring applications and/or resumes on file.

Q. Can I send you a resume tape or audition tape? What about a story reel?
A. Unlike most commercial local network affiliates, but in line with most PBS affiliate stations, KUED does not produce daily local packaged or anchored news. Unsolicited tapes are not kept on file. KUED produces local film-style documentaries, one weekly public affairs interview show, (Civic Dialogue) and one periodic public affairs show, (Special Report). KUED Media Solutions provides stand-alone multimedia services to clients within the University and local community. Turnover in the KUED Production department and KUED Media Solutions is uncommon. KUER FM90, the University of Utah’s National Public Radio station, produces local packaged news; see their website at www.kuer.org for current postings.

A. Internships at KUED and the Utah Education Network become available occasionally based on departmental needs and budget constraints. Internship opportunities are posted on our website. The KUED Production department selects one University of Utah junior or senior to work as a summer intern each year. This is a great opportunity for a student interested in the broadcast field. The intern assists the Sr. Producer with Production activities and spends several days in each departmental area of KUED. In addition to the KUED Web site, flyers are posted on the bulletin of the Communication and Film departments when this position becomes available.
